This episode was good. The Dusclops vs Skitty battle was really cool. I'm glad May and Skitty won their 2nd contest ribbon. Jessie finally got passed the 1st round of the contest, and without cheating. It was interesting how Skitty was able to endure all of those powerful attacks and still pull off the win. I'm glad Mrs. Grim finally changed her ways when it came to Timmy and Pokemon.

This battle was alright in some ways. I was also quite shocked in how powerful Skitty was against Dusclops, but even so, I did enjoy the battle aside from that. My perception of Skitty was that it was probably the weakest Pokémon May ever had, but that changed in some ways after that.

…May did not deserve this ribbon. At all. This episode picks up from where Disaster of Disguise left off, with Timmy’s backstory having been established. We get to the appeals…and it is a mess. While Timmy’s appeal was impressive, May’s was just a messed up Blizzard and juggling balls with her tail. How much worse were the other appeals to the point where she was able to make it? But that’s not even the worst of it. We then get to the battle of May’s Skitty vs Timmy’s Dusclops, where Skitty’s defenses increased to 999. To keep it short, Skitty miraculously manages to withstand many powerful attacks from Dusclops, and somehow wins, because Arceus really hates Timmy (who really deserved to win). The whole plotline was setting up for Timmy to win, with even his mother now supporting him when she didn’t before, his dad lying to help him achieve his dream, etc., and they just hand it to May, who could get ANOTHER ribbon ANYWHERE ELSE.

I actually LIKED Timmy, shame he got screwed over, though.

Hmm... This is one of the more interestinc contest plots in my opinion. Like I said when reviewing the previous episode, I like how Timmy has the backstory with his parents, and how strong Timmy still manages to be. And of course Jessie participates too, always funny. A grade? 7/10.

"Disguise Da Limit!"

"Disguise Da Limit"? Seriously? Man, what a lame title. I think this episode's dub title is one of the worst dub titles ever created.

Anyways, after the 'Disguise Disaster' with Timmy in the last episode, the Verdentur Pokémon Contest finally begins! Everyone performs their contest appeals....and none of the appeals were good, except Timmy's. It's hard to belive that May made it to the second round with that boring appeal with her Skitty's messed-up Blizzard and juggling balls with her tail by using Doubleslap. Then there was the battle between May's Skitty and Timmy's Duscolps, where Skitty magically gets a huge defence boost. Then May's Skitty gets hit by many strong attacks like Focus Punch, Hyper Beam, Will-O-Wisp from Dusclops. After that many powerful attack Skitty sholud've fainted. . .but NO, it Still Manages to stand!! On top of that, Skitty defeats Dusclops by using Assist over and over! Whoa, even with Timmy's mother supporting him (which she didn’t do before), his dad lying to help him enter the Pokémon Contest. . .Timmy lost! Honestly, I think this time Timmy deserved that Ribbon, not May. Geez, what a bad climax for such a good character and story.

Overall, this episode is one of my least favorite episodes from the Hoenn saga. I didn't enjoy watching it.

I screamed when Timmy's mom gave him tons of homework, but relieved that his dad bailed him out and that Timmy got to compete regardless. I was also surprised by Timmy's battle against Jessie's Dustox; the whole thing seemed pretty even and I was sad when Jessie lost since she got so far. Anyway, I was just glad that May won her second ribbon here.

I liked Dusclops's Will-O-Wisp appeal and when Timmy's mom had her flashback.

Timmy's mom's flashback actually made me tear up a bit cuz we saw how she became so strict all due to her parents taking Poochyena from her. She was an irritating Cotd, but I could understand her bitterness. ^^;

Pretty good episode and I liked the fact that it was a continuing storyline, but I didn't like the way Timmy handled his Dusclops. Dusclops seemed really poorly trained since even a weak little Skitty beat it.

It was nice seeing how Kimimaro's father helped him flee from his room when Kimiyo gave him all that homework, and Musashi's Appeal move with Dokucale was probably her best so far. Samayooru versus Eneco was decent, but I felt that Samayooru shouldn't have even gotten that far since Musashi and Dokucale were better.
